Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Somethin' was different bout the way you held me
Tighter than you did before
Like you knew it was the end and I couldn't be your friend
I don't remember what you even said
I only know that it hurt
First I was angry, then sad
Always lettin' you go, why's it always go slow?
Never thought I'd be happier but what do I know?
Know a little more now, got over you somehow
Never thought I'd be happier but look at me happier
Now the rain is just the rain
And the pain is just the pain
And a long drive is a long drive, I'm alright, I'm okay
Used to get anxious, red mad
Lonely and miserable, you put me through that
Always lettin' you go, why's it always go slow?
Never thought I'd be happier but what do I know?
Know a little more now, got over you somehow
Never thought I'd be happier but look at me happier
Look at me happier
Always lettin' you go, why's it always go slow?
Never thought I'd be happier but what do I know?
Know a little more now, got over you somehow
Never thought I'd be happier but look at me happier
Happy, happy, happy, happier
Happy, happy, look at me happier
Happy, happy, happy, happier
Happy, happy, look at me happier

You were lyin' on the floor, takin' my hand into yours
You were vulnerable, reaching out for connection
Somethin' was different bout the way you held me
There was a shift in the way you embraced me
Tighter than you did before
With more intensity than in the past
Like you knew it was the end and I couldn't be your friend
As if you were aware that our relationship was ending and we couldn't remain friends
I don't remember what you even said
The words you spoke are a blur in my memory
I only know that it hurt
But I distinctly remember the pain it caused
First I was angry, then sad
Initially I felt anger, then sadness
Lonely and miserable, I went through all that
Feeling alone and deeply unhappy, I experienced those emotions
Now the rain is just the rain
Rain is no longer a metaphor for sadness
And the pain is just the pain
Pain is no longer overwhelming, it's just an emotion
And a long drive is a long drive, I'm alright, I'm okay
A lengthy journey is simply that, and I'm doing fine, I'm alright
Used to get anxious, red mad
I used to get anxious, furious with anger
Lonely and miserable, you put me through that
Feeling alone and deeply unhappy, you subjected me to those emotions
Always lettin' you go, why's it always go slow?
Consistently allowing you to leave, why does it always take so long?
Never thought I'd be happier but what do I know?
Didn't expect to find happiness, I underestimated myself
Know a little more now, got over you somehow
Now I have greater knowledge, managed to move on from you in some way
Never thought I'd be happier but look at me happier
Never anticipated being happier, but here I am, happier
Look at me happier
Behold, I am happier
Happy, happy, happy, happier
Full of joy, joy, joy, even more joyful
Happy, happy, look at me happier
Joyful, joyful, look at me, even more joyful
Happy, happy, happy, happier
Full of joy, joy, joy, even more joyful
Happy, happy, look at me happier
Joyful, joyful, look at me, even more joyful

To me, this song sounds like someone who is in denial. Like they are trying to convince themselves that they are happier, but truly they are just trying to manifest a moment that hasn't happend yet.
I cried many times to this, because that's where I am.
